The third picture is a picture of the dial of the watch. That piece no longer fits into the groove on the stem and so I cannot secure the stem. In the other picture the piece is removed and you can see the springs that are supposed to hold the stem in place. An oiler is positioned to point at the troublesome piece. In the pictures below you can see the piece oriented in a way that I think it should go. I have rotated it into several orientations and tried to find a peg to fit into the hole in the runaway piece, but after several days, I cannot get it to fit back into the watch. It took several hours, but I found the piece on the floor. When I started to replace the stem a piece of the winding mechanism seemed to leap out of the movement and sail away. I did not see any problems, but I took the stem out. I opened the case to see if it was dirty or if there was an obvious reason for running slow. The watch was running, but losing a few minutes every day. I have a problem with a Bulova pocket watch.
